Nonlinear dynamics & chaos

Computer Lab 1 (2015-16, Sem-2)

Logistic Map
1. Write a MATLAB code for generating the orbit of a logistic map for any
arbitrary r and initial value x0 .
2. Experiment with the code to get various period-n dynamics, as well as
aperiodic dynamics.
3. Use your code (modify that slightly) to get the bifurcation diagram x vs
r for the logistic map. You will have to choose the resolution of r, r for
which to compute the orbit.
Note: On the bifurcation diagram we only plot those set of points where
the system ends up eventually (at t ). That is, we do not plot the
transients but only the steady state dynamics.
4. Period-3 window
(a) Around the period-3 window, generate the orbit and observe the
intermittently periodic orbit at various r values.
(b) Examine the period-3 window at ner resolution in r.
5. Explore the bifurcation diagram further by increasing the resolution in r
around dierent r values. What do you nd here?
Note: At the end of the laboratory, put in all your results in a single le,
describing the dynamics (period-1, period-2, etc..) and the value of r for each.
Upload the le on photon.
